Since the new dashboard update every one has gone on and on about the pros and cons of this new presentation. One of the most common complaints is the slightly obtrusive and overly abundant advertisements on every tab. They don’t really cause a lot of damage, but can be quite annoying. Well now thanks to Reddit member absurdlyobfuscated, with a few easy steps, you can block them from your dashboard. The real question is, how many of you care about these adds enough to block them, let us know if you to will be saying bye-bye to ads in the comments below.

About John Drawdy

John is a father, gamer, a little bit of a weirdo and a lover of games. Normally he can be found in front of his laptop, while watching TV or playing a game (sometimes both). Writing is something that he has always loved to do and what better place to do that then in the world he loves; video games.

They don’t bother me & a many of them either include contests or free dlc.

Not me, it doesn’t bother me too bad. Sure a little less would be nice but heck it helps support Microsoft and XBL.

Those that constantly complain about Xbox being full of ads are just trolls. I could say the same thing about PSN’s UI but it’s so butt ugly that I rarely turn it on. See? Works both ways.

I like how people are complaining about the ads when the majority of them are for stuff on Xbox LIVE, all the other stuff is usually tucked away in the freaking corner.

what bothers me is not being able to play multiplayer games anymore. Xbox live disconnects everytime I put in a new gamne but reconnects on the dashboard

To me the ads aren’t intrusive. If I were an advertiser that has bought ad space on the dashboard, I’d be letting my feelings known about this the ad blocking issue. I wouldn’t be surprised if Microsoft fixes this issue soon. I also wouldn’t be surprised if somewhere within the Terms of Service you agree to allow Microsoft to advertise to you. I imagine this won’t turn out to well for those Live users who are ad blocking.

The ads don’t bother me at all except on principal. Gold members are paying members and it’s silly to see ads. That being said, the ads are almost always creative and I actually enjoy them. I played the ad where you’re in a toyota or something launching a catapult at a tower for probably 30 minutes. Also, the Chuck Norris WoW ad makes me laugh every time. The Man Cave ads are also enjoyable.
